Very slow at posting, made a purchase two days ago and still no tracking number. I won’t be using Far again.

Brent and his team went above and beyond when dealing with my order. I will certainly bring using them for future skateboard purchases. I would highly recommend them.

Would recommend
Would recommend, received tracking via PayPal and arrived quickly. Packaging could be better. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because my grip tape was lose in the box with my other items and basically sandpapered the inside during transport and got dirty.

Great local skate organisation
We were just visiting the area, and booked our two kids (one beginner, one intermediate) for the Skateboard Academy on Saturday morning. It was a great experience for both of them, with a friendly welcome and lots of support. Small groups were good for making progress. The next day they arranged for a private coaching session at the local skatepark too, also brilliant. Congrats to the team.
